This can be done through the Edit Project window, Edit Booking window, Hourline or Long Form, by clicking on the Object icon and selecting 'Outgoing Purchase Order’. The PO lines for this Object (according to the booked Activity) will be listed in a side menu.
The Buy Rate for that line will show in yellow or red.
